station, and terminates at Trinity Bellwoods Park. Led by Richard Anderson and
others.

Sunday, April 15, 2018, 2 pm - Garrison Creek Water Walk (Queen to the Lake)
Join the Rivers Rising Ambassadors as we celebrate water and Lost Garrison Creek a week before the day - Earth Day 2018. The Earth Day 2018 theme is “Plastic Pollution” so bring your water bottle, and wear blue as we embody the watercycle and carry water along the course of Lost Garrison Creek to the lake. Stops along the way include the Wall of Oblivion, the smelter, the blood sewer, the most polluted quay at the lake, and the fish habitat restoration project at Spadina Quay. And of course lots of plastic stories!

Walk leaders, Darlene King, Helen Mills

Meet at the northwest corner of Gore Vale Ave and Queen St West. Walk is approx 2.5 km and ends at Spadina Quay. Mostly on city streets with a few stairs and uneven surfaces.

Plans for walks are constantly being developed. We welcome your suggestions for
interesting walks. Maybe you might like to lead a walk. Send your suggestion to:
The Streamwalker.

NOTE to leaders of walks who plan to bring their groups to join one of our walks.
While we always welcome more people to our walks, it would be appreciated if you
would make arrangements with the walk leader well before hand. Adding a
significant number of people (eight or more) at the last minute can make it
difficult to see that all get the benefit of the walk You can e-mail
The Streamwalker and he will attempt to get you in
touch with the walk leader so you can make special arrangements.

Field Naturalists provide these and other walks and events as a public service.
If you would like to support the work of these organizations, you may join TFN
